About Sharp McDonald Center
Sharp McDonald Center provides comprehensive addiction treatment for youth and adults in San Diego, California. They offer multiple levels of care, including medically supervised detox, short and long-term residential programming, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), standard outpatient (OP), and aftercare services.
Clients undergoing detox receive round-the-clock medical supervision and may be prescribed FDA-approved medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and prevent potentially serious complications. Those in alcohol and/or opioid recovery may enroll in their evidence-based medication assisted treatment (MAT) program for longer-term pharmacotherapy. Clients also engage in intensive, trauma-informed individual, group, and family counseling drawing on proven modalities, including CBT. The program promotes clients’ sustained sobriety through robust, recovery-focused life skills training addressing topics such as coping, self-care, wellness, emotional regulation, anger and stress management, disease and medication management, and relapse prevention. An array of complementary therapies is available, including creative arts therapy. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is provided for clients with treatment-resistant co-occurring mental illness.
Their aftercare services ensure a complete continuum of care aligned with clients’ evolving needs and may include transitional support for clients stepping down from higher-intensity treatment and referrals for medical, mental health, and social service programs. Sharp McDonald Center is accredited by The Joint Commission. Payment options include private insurance, Medicare, and self-pay.
